Adolescent substance use remains a persistent and serious problem in society despite use patterns showing consistent declines in alcohol and other illicit drug use since 2000. This paper provides an overview of the somewhat confusing landscape of substance-use treatment options available to families and professionals seeking treatment services. A case study is presented illustrating one treatment option, termed outdoor behavioral healthcare, to highlight one example of alternative treatment and educational program that has developed in recent years to meet increased demand for services. Conclusions developed from a review of treatment service availability and research conducted on the effectiveness of treatment suggest that alternative treatments for adolescents should continue to be identified, developed and evaluated using suggestions put forth by researchers in the area of substance-abuse treatment research to increase the likelihood that adolescents who need treatment services are getting those services in a timely, effective, and safe manner. |
